If it weren't for the deep affection they'd built up over the years, given her personality, he might have been locked away in a dark room long ago, never to see the light of day again.
Faced with such extreme emotions, almost morbid love, El was not afraid at all; in fact, he even found it somewhat enjoyable.
After all, being deeply loved by his most precious and dearest sister could be said to have satisfied his vanity to the greatest extent.
Satella pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she hadn't even done anything yet, and this brat was already sighing.
To punish his infidelity and promiscuity, she first scooped up a handful of bathwater with flower petals and deliberately made him drink it.
Al, however, remained calm and composed, sipping his wine from her hand. The red wine flowed smoothly over his tongue, leaving a lingering and delightful aftertaste.
"Hmm, so you really enjoy drinking your older sister's bathwater? Or do you know you're in the wrong?"
Seeing that El remained silent, Satella pinched his cheek with her fingertips, still relentlessly saying, "Didn't you have fun out there? Why did you bring that face home to me!"
He finally spoke, explaining with a helpless tone, "Sister, if you ask me, this is a carefully planned conspiracy! I haven't been here long and I don't know many people. The person who is targeting me is definitely after you."
"Humph, that's good if you know."
Satella wasn't surprised that her brother was able to unravel the truth; no one knew better than her just how outstanding he was.
"Tell me, what did you discover?"
El began to speak softly, the most incongruous thing being that although it clearly looked (according to the system) to be just an ordinary [rose], it seemed to have a slight aphrodisiac effect.
This was clearly unusual, and he became wary as a result.
Eileen's subsequent actions confirmed some of his suspicions.
It's important to know that Eileen is still a virgin. This isn't to say that the thing itself is bad; on the contrary, it's something to be praised, just as the Empire has always promoted: "First be a good wife, then you'll have good vitality!"
But the strange thing is this: why would she, who has restrained her desires and maintained physical purity for so many years, suddenly become aroused with him, whom she had only known for a short time?
At least they should have established a romantic relationship first, but she didn't mention it at all at the time.
If she were willing to abide by and accept the cultural requirement for a partner's premarital chastity, she would not have so easily succumbed to the temptation of desire; if she were a promiscuous girl who couldn't wait to give herself away, she would not still be a virgin.
This is a contradiction in itself.
Therefore, there is a high probability that someone is behind this, and that the other party's abilities are likely related to "lust," one of the major sins.
Of course, the latter point is just his guess.
Because he had witnessed firsthand the power of the Great Sin to distort reality through his sister.
Satella said in a hopeless voice, "So what exactly are you trying to tell your sister? You're so clever, you already realized this was a honey trap and resolutely resisted the temptation?"
Al confessed honestly, "No, I took the opportunity to grope her to my heart's content, and then I came back after she fell asleep from exhaustion."
Please, imagine holding a young girl's soft body in your arms, passionately expressing your love. It would be a saint to resist taking advantage of that.
Satella was furious upon hearing this, and her jealousy was driving her mad. Finally, she could no longer bear it and reached out to pull him over and tuck him under her arm.
El mumbled, "Sister, be gentle... Cough cough cough... Sister, sis, I can't breathe, I can't breathe."
Satella smiled contemptuously, looked down at him with fiery eyes, and pressed her cherry lips against his. At the same time, a slit appeared on her flexible heart-shaped tail, which slipped into her brother's trouser leg and efficiently drained him of every last drop of nectar, just like sucking nectar from a flower.
El begged for her pity, but all he received in return was a more intense kiss and domineering exploitation.
"I'm punishing you by forbidding you from sleeping in my bed for three days."
After saying that, Satella yanked her tail off him with a "pop," then stepped out of the bathtub with great satisfaction. Naked and completely naked, she stood silently by the window for a moment, letting the wind dry the remaining red wine on her body—a very alluring sight.
Unfortunately, El never got to see it. He stared blankly at the ceiling, which was almost completely burned out.
Chapter 10 Mitigating the Impact
El lay on his back, closed his eyes, and completely relaxed his body. He didn't even take off his uniform before soaking in his sister's bathtub.
His face was flushed, and he still had the aftereffects of being overly excited.
Although my sister only used a few minutes, the thrill and the dizzying feeling of happiness she experienced were truly exhilarating and made my blood boil.
The depletion of his vital energy was secondary—after all, he was different from others; his green bar replenished every second. The main problem was the numbing sensation in his brain after it was all depleted, like the emptiness that followed the receding tide.
This reminded him of something. First, he knew that succubi could secrete a substance within their bodies that made people more sensitive. Initially, they would feel unbearably hot, and then after a little while, they would be overwhelmed by lust and become completely obedient to the succubus. The effect would last for about two to three hours, after which they would return to normal, and there were no particularly significant side effects.
However, that's not the main point. The main point is that at the beginning of the establishment of the Aetheran Empire, the two races were in a period of adjustment, and the rules were relatively chaotic and ambiguous, with many loopholes that could be exploited.
At that time, unscrupulous people among humans smelled a lot of business opportunities in succubi, and collected large quantities of this substance from succubi, then diluted it and sold it as an aphrodisiac, resulting in irreversible damage to the brains of users.
Because the succubi themselves can generally control the dosage precisely, but the people who create the potion cannot so easily control the concentration of secretions from different succubi, which leads to the tragedy.
This is the infamous "Silver Honey Tragedy" in history.
It's a truly absurd piece of history to read now.
In addition, some inherently cruel succubi still deliberately inject others with excessive amounts of aphrodisiacs to damage their brains and pleasure thresholds for their own amusement.
So, this time the older sister was really angry. Jealousy makes people lose their minds, otherwise she wouldn't have been willing to punish him in such a unique way.
He personally doesn't mind doing this kind of thing occasionally; after all, it's a fun activity between the two of them, isn't it?
El doesn't remember how he got back to bed, but after a good night's sleep, he was back to normal.
Good morning, Black Claw Castle! Good morning, sister.
With a smile, El greeted everyone he met with a good morning, even the maids in the house, saying, "Good morning to you too."
Good morning, sir.
"It seems the punishment for you was too lenient."
Satella was drinking milk tea, dairy products were very popular among succubi. When she heard her brother greet her, she put down her teacup, looked at him, and did not give him a warm hug as usual.
Actually, she thought a lot about it yesterday. Succubi are sometimes very contradictory creatures. Sometimes she knows she shouldn't do something, but when jealousy takes over, she doesn't care about anything else.
I wanted to say that I was also wronged, but then I felt that would be too weak, since she was the older sister.
Seeing El looking so energetic, Satella breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, she couldn't bring herself to apologize. She hesitated for a while with a blank expression, and could only wait for him to come up to her and say, "Let's make up," just like when they were children.
Alan sat on a chair to the side, resting his chin on his hand, and continued his sister's words, "You can't punish her now that you've punished me, okay?"
Satella was somewhat surprised, then realized what she meant and sneered, "So you're still thinking about that bitch!"
That being said, Satella didn't actually think that her brother valued Satella more than her; there was a fundamental difference between them.
Their eyes met. Meeting the sister's emotionless gaze, El felt a chill run down her spine and felt uneasy. The air was thick with tension.
After a moment of silence, he still forced himself to speak.
"Oh, sister, what can I do? Fate always seems to be playing tricks on me, but it also seems to be favoring me. I can only blame myself for this, and I can't blame others."
After all, Eileen was a girl he had been intimate with, even touching his most intimate parts; he couldn't just leave her alone.
The biggest feud between succubi is undoubtedly over men. If he doesn't speak up for Eileen, her sister probably won't mind causing her any trouble.
In that case, her good days will be over.
El quickly said, "You have no idea, yesterday that guy kept talking and talking, saying that she was actually very scared, afraid that you would kill her."
He tried to imitate Eileen's tone in a funny way to dispel his sister's jealousy and hostility.
As expected, he saw the same contempt in his sister's eyes. Just as he had predicted, his sister had never taken the other person seriously. She was just very unhappy that the other person dared to touch what belonged to her. So he pressed on while the iron was hot and continued to speak.
"...It really makes me want to laugh. It's obvious she doesn't understand you at all, and of course, there are others too. My sister, she's clearly the gentlest and best sister in the world—she's not that scary at all!"
"Hmph, no need for your flattery!" Satella frowned, a fire burning inside her, and said angrily, "You brat, do you remember what you promised me? It's only been a few days, and you're already breaking our agreement? Tell me, are you planning to go to the cells and toy with my prisoners next?"
This is another classic slippery slope fallacy.
"I never thought about it, okay? That's illegal!" El said, pressing his fist to his chest.
I argued with my sister for a while, but in the end, nothing came of it, and we still went to work together when it was time.
……
In the office, Al finally saw Eileen, who had returned from her vacation. He immediately smiled at her and said, "Good morning." Then he didn't say anything else.
Eileen blushed instantly, blinked, and stared at him for a long time, looking hesitant and worried, absent-minded and unable to concentrate on her work.
The two of them deliberately sought out an opportunity to be alone together. They faced each other and stared at each other for a long time. Eileen seemed to feel a little hot and untied the tie at the collar of her shirt. Strictly speaking, this kind of shirt was actually underwear worn close to the body and was rarely exposed in front of outsiders. It was usually worn very tightly. Only people of low status, such as prisoners, would wear a single shirt that was indecently exposed.
“I must have been bewitched by you yesterday,” Eileen whispered.
Chapter 11 Office Romance
Otherwise, why would she willingly take the risk and become his lover?
Upon hearing this, El reached out and wrapped his arms around Eileen's slender waist. He found that she did not resist at all. Instead, she snuggled against him and rubbed against him. Her soft, fleshy wings fluttered from behind, occasionally brushing against his arm and bringing a wonderful sensation.
It has to be said that the succubus girl's soft and fragrant body is really comfortable to hug. Even if you don't do anything, just smelling her hair and feeling her body temperature is a pleasure.
He whispered in her ear, "It's too late to regret it now, you already belong to me."
"I love your unpretentiousness, I love your naked appearance, I want to leave my mark on your body~"
Upon hearing this, Eileen began to get wet, instinctively clenching her legs together before slowly relaxing them.
It's important to know that the patterns on each succubus are unique.
Due to the interaction with humans in recent centuries, a new phenomenon called "combined patterns" has emerged.
Specifically, half-succubi either have no patterns at all, or their patterns are incomplete, consisting only of "basic patterns" inherited from their parents.
Only after going through the coming-of-age ceremony, being willing to descend into the womb for someone, and completely opening one's body and mind, can one absorb and integrate the magic and genetic factors of one's partner, thus forming the "main pattern" on the basis of the "base pattern". Only when these two are combined can a complete pattern be formed.
The official name of the Aetheran Empire also refers to this as "proof of the oath".
In fact, in the culture of succubi in the past, having someone else's mark on one's body was a symbol of complete submission, representing that one had become the other's possession and that all one's actions were subject to their control.
Held in his arms, Eileen felt weak all over. She would be willing to do anything, let alone become El's possession.
However, due to the propaganda and education she had received in the past, the girl's modesty still made her shyly suggest, "Now, here? Shall we go to the restroom? If you like, I'll take my clothes off for you..." As she spoke, a feeling of excitement and stimulation that she had never experienced before rose in her heart.
El was taken aback. "What are you thinking? You're at work. If Warden Freya catches you, you'll behave yourself!"
"Huh? Oh, oh." Eileen also realized. After all, they were all succubi. If they really did it, the smell would be quite obvious. Who wouldn't be able to smell it?
She said with a hint of disappointment, "But it'll be a long time before I get off work."
El teased her deliberately, "What's wrong, Erin? Aren't you happy working with me?"
"You know perfectly well that she didn't mean it that way, El, you're so mean~" Erin nudged him with her head, like a large golden retriever.
"Yes, I know. Um, let's stop joking." El carried her to a chair and sat down. He brushed the hair that had fallen across her forehead, looked into her eyes, and suddenly said seriously, "I have something important to ask you."
Eileen wrapped her legs around him and put her arms around his neck. Seeing how serious he was, she thought he wanted to ask her if she had an ex-boyfriend or something. So she naturally kissed him on the cheek and gently put his hands into his open shirt, letting him touch them, as her answer.
As he gently massaged her, El voiced his question.
"Think back, has anything unusual happened in the last few days?"
"No!" Eileen gazed at him with her alluring eyes and answered without hesitation. Of course, she didn't have an ex-boyfriend!
Then she quickly realized what she had just heard, and her expression froze. "Hmm...hmm?"
not good!
"No, let me think." She subconsciously bit her lip, looking thoughtful. "Think... what would be considered special?"
He pondered for a moment, "Hmm, like a surge of desire, a feeling of heat throughout the body, and eyes sparkling with love?"
These are all signs of being in heat.
"No," she said angrily. "Although I was a bit too forward, it's not as lewd as getting aroused in thin air."
El found it amusing, gently coaxed her a few times, and sighed inwardly. The silly girl didn't even realize she was being used as bait, let alone know any clues.
The prime suspect is Warden Freya.
Judging from her actions and attitude, she probably wanted to have an intimate relationship with Eileen, otherwise she wouldn't have actively created opportunities for them. But what was her purpose in doing so? It couldn't possibly be out of consideration for her subordinates.
Also, could Freya be the long-lost "Lust"?
That's unlikely.
"What are you thinking about?" Eileen asked resentfully. This guy was holding her breast, lost in thought. Was she really that unattractive?
At first, his hands stopped moving, which interrupted the pleasure. I thought he just wanted to take a break or try a different kneading technique. But then I realized his eyes were unfocused, which meant he was clearly distracted!
Just as El was about to say something, a series of footsteps approaching from afar startled them both, leaving them momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Not long after, Yi Shuang's cold and beautiful figure appeared outside the office door. She got straight to the point, "El, where is Erin? The warden said he has something important to discuss with her."
